That's Paul completely. Maybe I had something to do with the chorus, but I don't know. I always considered it his song.

—John Lennon, 1980

We recorded it in France, as I recall. Went over to the Odeon in Paris. Recorded it over there. Felt proud because Ella Fitzgerald recorded it, too, though we didn't realize what it meant that she was doing it.

—Paul McCartney, 1984

'Can't Buy Me Love' is my attempt to write a bluesy mode. The idea behind it was that all these material possessions are all very well but they won't buy me what I really want.

—Paul McCartney, 1994
